Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid with a picture of the Brazilian defender putting pen to paper on a three-year contract.

The Blues released the photo of Luis signing his deal – which is thought to be about £20m – on Friday evening, and revealed that the 28-year-old will wear the number 5 shirt next season.

Luis said: ‘This move is a dream come true for me. I now have the opportunity to play for Chelsea, and also in the Premier League.

‘I’m very happy and looking forward to getting started and giving my best for the team during the coming seasons.’

The 28-year-old joined Atletico from Deportivo La Coruna in 2010 and played an important role in helping Los Rojiblancos win two UEFA Super Cups, the 2012 Europa League, the 2013 Copa del Rey and 2014 La Liga title during that time.

Despite having also starred in Atletico’s Champions League final defeat to city rivals Real Madrid last term, the Brazil international was not chosen to feature in Luiz Felipe Scolari’s 23-man World Cup squad this summer.
